The Grant-A-Starr Foundation

The Grant-A-Starr Foundation is a non-profit organization for the purpose of saving children’s lives through the advancement of rapid detection of life-threatening childhood infections such as encephalitis and meningitis. The Foundation was created as a result of the loss of a child, Grant Starr, at Commonwealth Elementary School in Sugar Land, Texas.  The diagnostic tools were simply not adequate to identify Grant’s illness and save his life. 

The Annual Fun Run & Walk

The Annual Fun Run & Walk is organized and managed by students across Fort Bend County schools, with many of the student were Grant’s friends and classmates. The teens have a passion to raise funds for the advancement of rapid diagnostic testing, which will help to reduce the time to identify a child’s illness from days or weeks to mere hours. Come participate for this worthy cause. Enjoy the Post-Race Party including entertainment provided by local bands, snacks and refreshments served by local establishments. Awards will be presented to the top finishers in each event.
